City ecosystems
can be flat or hilly with rivers
or lakes, or on the coast. Buildings and roads
are some of the non-living things in cities,
but there are a variety of living things too. Cities
often have parks and gardens. Grasses, trees
and bushes can all be found in most cities. Cities
are home to many types of birds, such as
sparrows and pigeons. Other animals, such as
mice, lizards, insects and sometimes foxes, can
also be found.
